Weekly Focus Information for the Week of January 11, 2021 to January 15, 2021
Dear Parents,
Spelling:
This week we will have our summative test for the 2nd Quarter, second grade “Red Words.” Our new “Green Word Pattern” phonics lesson will be “ew” as in few and grew.
Red Words RF.2.3
“Red Words” are non-phonetic words that do not follow the rules and cannot be sounded out.
Our “Red Word” spelling test this week will be a summative test over the following 2nd quarter Red Words: many, also, black, these, why, around, don’t, push its, it’s, eye, and above.
(First Quarter 3rd Grade Red Words: full, than, much, would, today, about, only, show, thought, great)
We will once again study these words throughout the week before we have our weekly spelling test.
The final grade for these words will be on Friday, January 15, 2021.
Green Word Pattern Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will be “ew” as in few and grew. Students once learned they could spell /oo/ as in zoo and long u—u-consonant –magic e as in cute. Now we will learn these sounds can also be represented with “ew” as in few and grew. Please practice these words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words may come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more “ew” words on their Friday spelling test.
Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.
Reading
Please note, that we will be completing our “Gifted Testing” and our “ProCore B” testing during our reading times. We will continue, time permitting, to focus on our standard of RL.2.2 throughout the week as we read and learn about the elements of a fable during our shortened Reader’s Workshop and our Guided Reading group times. Our writing focus will continue to be informational writing activities within our reading and science studies. (W2.2)
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Math
We will take our Lessons 1 – 5 Quiz this week which continues our study of Module 4. Our focus will be teaching toward mastery of sums and differences within 100. We will take our “Gifted Testing” in math at the beginning of the week and our “ProCore B” math assessment at the end of the week.
Science/Social Studies –
Our Science focus will continue to be force and motion. We will be conducting experiments in the classroom and completing a new “science journal.”
Thank you,
Mrs. Arp, Mr. Inman, Mrs. Stephenson
